People are taking Jobs at minimum vtc.C-, Prt time, which move them out cf the poverty level, but still do not make ends meet, Baker sdd. The Food Bank is a private, non-profit organization created two years ago to address two problems: hunger and waste. In those two years, the demand has increased steadily, Baker said. The bank receives donations of surplus food and food with damaged packaging from food producers and grocery stores. It distributes the food to member organizations for a share donation of 12 cents per pound. The Lincoln Fellowship of Churches' pantry system, Malone Community Center and the People's City Mission belong to the food bank. V '. in - 'f - W o U li iw m i i I ... ; i m - 'J """" - .

As of Saturday, only $6,000 had been donated, according to LilUe Mylcs, !.!alcne program director. The center needs donations of money, as well as potatoes, canned corn and green beans, cranberry sauce, stufung and pie filling.

"You don't want your children to feel deprived," she tald. Edtler'a children are involved in Headstart, a federally funded program for preschool children. Headstart helps her provids her children with the things other children' have, Beitler said. The Lincoln Fellowship of Churches' pantry system tries to extend the holiday spirit by helping people throughout the year, said the Rev. Dale Bolton, head of the LFC pantry committee. As of Oct. 15, the LFC pantry system had given out 2,297 emergency food baskets, affecting 6,053 individuals during 1084, Bolton said. Baker said people should consider hypothetical situa tions. What if you were injured, disabled or lost your job? What if your children ran away? Wouldn't you want the assurance that someone some where was caring for them? i t i -A " . j Bishops...

Contrary to Rogers' assertion, the pastoral draft does not call for the formation of an "egalitarian" state. Esther, inequality of income or wealth fa mortlly acceptable, but only when the basic human needs of all persons have been met In defense of Rogers' editorial, he has, I believe, honestly spoken his mind. Unfortunately, he has devoted too little attention to thoughtful analysis. Perhaps this .results from a certain zealous ness which Erie Sevcricd has noted affiets both the extreme right and th extreme left, to wit: from an extremists point of view, anyone . who disagrees with hi3 cpeetsua.
